Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Charlie Simpson, the man who effortlessly straddles the worlds of pop punk and acoustic folk like a musical tightrope walker. His latest offering, "Hope Is A Drug," is a mixed bag of infectious hooks and introspective lyrics that is sure to leave you feeling both uplifted and slightly melancholic.
From the opening track, "In My Shoes," Simpson's raspy vocals grip you like a vice, pulling you into his world of heartbreak and redemption. The catchy melodies and toe-tapping rhythms make it impossible not to sing along, even if you're crying into your pint.
But don't be fooled by the cheery exterior - there's a darkness lurking beneath the surface of "Hope Is A Drug." Tracks like "Sirens" and "Lost" delve into themes of addiction and loss, painting a sombre picture of the human condition. And yet, there's a glimmer of hope in every chord, a sense that redemption is just around the corner if we're willing to chase it.
Overall, "Hope Is A Drug" is a solid addition to Charlie Simpson's discography, showcasing his songwriting prowess and knack for crafting a damn good tune. So grab a copy, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let the music wash over you like a warm hug from an old friend. You won't regret it. Cheers, Charlie.

About the artist
Charlie Simpson
Charlie Simpson is not your average pop heartthrob. This former heartbreaker from boy band Busted has shed his bubblegum image to emerge as a serious, introspective musician in his own right. Armed with a guitar and a voice that can melt even the coldest of hearts, Simpson is carving out a niche for himself in the alternative rock scene. With lyrics that are as poignant as they are witty, Simpson's songwriting is a breath of fresh air in a music industry often filled with clichés and empty promises. His ability to switch effortlessly between catchy pop hooks and soulful ballads is a testament to his versatility as an artist. Despite his success, Simpson remains refreshingly down-to-earth, often poking fun at himself and his past exploits in Busted. His cheeky sense of humour shines through in his music, adding an extra layer of charm to his already irresistible persona. Whether he's performing to sold-out crowds or playing an intimate acoustic set, Simpson never fails to captivate his audience. His raw talent and infectious energy make him a force to be reckoned with in the music world. So, if you're looking for a dose of catchy tunes with a side of dry wit, look no further than Charlie Simpson. He may have started out as a boy band heartthrob, but he's evolved into a bona fide music sensation. And trust me, you won't want to miss out on what he has in store next.
